hard times

The basis of my complacency

Is based on a little lack, a little vacancy

In my attitude

I know I need gratitude

Show you how much I love you

By everything that I do

But I come up short and fall through

Every new crack I accrue

I know that I

Am my biggest detriment, my slowest impediment

I'm hardly beneficial, and the biggest embarrassment

I best buckle up and down 'cause

(Let's get it right, get it right, get it right)

I know I got hard times

Ahead of me, and everyone I see is

Listenin' to these bad lies

I just can't believe that everyone's deceived by

Lookin' around with blind eyes

They don't even try to see the way that I do

Joke's on them in kind, 'cause I don't really mind

Dealing with some hard times with you

I gotta get a bit of structure

Because if I tool around without

I just might mess up and rupture

My ego can't stand a puncture

My mind's too sharp to fool for long

I see my faults I can't ignore

Wool they used to blind my eyes

Can't stand the light that shines alone

I know that I

Am my biggest detriment, my slowest impediment

I'm hardly beneficial, and the biggest embarrassment

I best buckle up and down 'cause

(Let's get it right, get it right, get it right)

I know I got hard times

Ahead of me, and everyone I see is

Listenin' to these bad lies

I just can't believe that everyone's deceived by

Lookin' around with blind eyes

They don't even try to see the way that I do

Joke's on them in kind, 'cause I don't really mind

Dealing with some hard times with you

Now, I finally think I'm on the right road

But I got miles to go 'ere I arrive home

Yeah, I got miles to go 'ere I arrive home
